Is Temple Open? A small, intrepid band of community members headed out to Temple station on London’s Underground network, and had a light-hearted photoshoot to celebrate the re-opening of the station following an extended closure during the first Covid-19 lockdown. The station has attracted a cult following from London Underground staff and enthusiasts due to frequent closures over the last few years, particularly following the 'Fit for the Future' programme of 2015-2017. We've got plenty more ideas for fun events like this in the pipeline, so keep an eye out on the server for one near you soon...
